Goin' Down With My Pride Lyrics

I don't know how much pain and ache
The average heart can take
It seems as if I've been back for more
One too many times before
Fool me once, well shame on you
Make it twice, guess I'm the fool
You know there comes a time to go
Even though I love you so

I'm goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin down
With my pride

Now if I were you and you were me
Maybe then we both could see
Why you need me one more time
And you'd understand why I'm

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride

She Makes the Coming Home (Worth the Being Gone)

I don't know how much pain and ache
The average heart can take
It seems as if I've been back for more
One too many times before
Fool me once, well shame on you
Make it twice, guess I'm the fool
You know there comes a time to go
Even though I love you so

I'm goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin down
With my pride

Now if I were you and you were me
Maybe then we both could see
Why you need me one more time
And you'd understand why I'm

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride

Goin down with my pride
Losing love, but saving face
Being strong at any price
Just knowin' there'll be hell to pay
Standing up to walk away
Well, I can hold my head up high
I might drown, but I'm goin' down
With my pride

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
